Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.

Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Ah, yes, the classic this guy really wants to fuck Jucika because she's really hot.
While the clear joke in a lot of Jucika comics is men doing irrational or silly things because Jucika's attractive, describing it the way you do does it a disservice. It's supposed to be playful, not puerile. That doesn't mean you have to like it, but personally I find it silly and kind of annoying when people mischaracterise stuff they dislike - either their dislike is causing them to describe it badly, or their misunderstanding of it is causing them to dislike it, and neither is good :(
Sublimated horniness is still horniness.
The real questions is why she stealing the bed of someone old?
Really hot but also quite nice usually.
... He's letting her sleep and sacrificing his comfort. People can have empathy you know.
A possible interpretation if this is the only Jucika comic you've read.
The pattern is: First frame: Man sees Jucika. Last frame: Man does incredibly generous thing for Jucika. And it's always a man and it always happens almost instantly.
Many that ive seen actually involve men annoying her or her somehow being inconvenienced by men. Ive seen a bunch that are about her interacting with other women, often involving men who are being annoying or creepy. The kind of interaction shown in this strip seems to be kind of rare by comparison.
I also fail to see your outrage over it. Who says he did it because he thinks shes hot? He just seemed to feel badly for her cause she was tired at work and wanted to let her rest. Any inference over his intentions is just that, your own inference.
Pretty privilege undoubtedly exists, and it's often invisible to the pereson who is providing it, though it is painfully obvious to anyone who has lived in states of being pretty and not pretty at varying times of their lives. Jucika fans seem to be particularly blind to it and that's really what my outrage is about.
We respect the elegance Jucika and do anything to please her every whim and comfort without expecting a goddang thing in return
I'm not at all surprised at the level of disconnect there is among Jucika fans. I should probably stop reading and commenting on these like everyone else with a lick of human understanding would.
I'm reminding of a comment on a video of Anne Margaret's Bye Bye Birdie. Something along the lines of, "This is when woman had class and didn't whore themselves out," weirdly unaware that his own childhood lust for Anne Margaret was likely triggered by her shaking her large boobs inside her sweater.
Edit: Here she is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsQabalLI0w It's hella fun to watch and she's a great performer, but obviously she is selling some sexuality.
Wtf are you talking about? She shook her (perfectly average-sized) boobs for like a split second, once, toward the end of that video.
I get that people were more prudish in those days, but characterizing that video as a woman "shaking her large boobs inside her sweater" sounds like the talk of someone who thinks literally everything a woman does is sexual. We can't even shimmy once in a 3-minute performance without someone thinking we're "whoring ourselves."
I'm not saying Ann Margaret is whoring herself out any more or less than anyone else, just that sexuality is often part of performance, and those standards change over time. What I object is to people pretending like sexuality isn't a factor in appeal, especially when these boomers are disparaging younger performers.
You just seem like a joyless husk.
I literally just linked an Ann Margaret video because it is quite lovely and joyful; it is also, however, very sexy.
yeah do that
Yeah, I usually enjoy Jucika but there's no denying that the majority of strips are essentially "Pussy Pass: The Comic".
Iβm not gonna gaslight you and say that isnβt a lot of the Jucika comics. I am gonna say thatβs not all of them. A few of them are witty or wholesome.
I agree, it's not all of them ... but it certainly is a common theme.
Except in this case.
